You are Harry Truman. It is February 1947, and British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin has just told you Britain can no longer afford to support the Greek government's fight against the communist opposition. Your intelligence agencies warn that British support is the only thing preventing a communist victory. Advisers urge you to fill the void left by Britain's withdrawal. They warn that if Greece falls to communism, Turkey could be next, and other nations could follow. But isolationist Republicans in Congress oppose extending U.S. military and financial resources -- they want to spend the money at home. Your aides draw up two main options: Ask Congress to fund the fight against communism in Greece and Turkey; or seek the same support through the United Nations. Where do you go for aid?
